Hi Heather,
Welcome to planDisney and thank you for dropping by with your question about New Year's Eve at Walt Disney World Resort. I am so glad to see you are planning on ringing in the New Year at Walt Disney World Resort, I can't think of a more magical way to celebrate!
Advanced Dining Reservations can be made up to 60 days in advance and are extremely popular, especially on New Year's Eve. I suggest to keep checking the Walt Disney World Resort website to see if any reservations become available for your visit. I have had good luck the night before my preferred reservation date as guests change plans and may cancel their reservation. If you still haven't found anything on December 31, I suggest visiting your preferred dining location early to see if they have any Same-Day Walk-Up reservations, with some extra Pixie Dust, you may get lucky!
If you don't find an Advanced Dining Reservation, you will still have a magical time at
Walt Disney World Resort for New Year's Eve. We like to visit Epcot and enjoy the celebration at World Showcase, we can casually stroll around the different countries and enjoy some delicious foods from around the world!
I hope you have a magical New Year, Heather. If you have any other questions, please come back to
planDisney we are always happy to help.
